After moving from the LA Galaxy to the Columbus Crew this offseason, Gyasi Zardes found his form against as a striker in MLS. After breaking out in 2014, scoring 16 goals on a team with Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane, the up and coming US striker never reached the same heights again with the Galaxy. The next three years, Zardes totaled 14 league goals, while being shunted out wide in a winger role, or even worse, having to play right back.
Neither of which suit him.
In moving to Columbus, Zardes got to work under Gregg Berhalter, who has a fantastic record of getting the most out of his strikers in recent years.
